I would say it's Christians who give christians a bad name.

Except for the part about everyone can be saved by Jesus and the Lord because only the Biblical Israelites will be saved, and only 1/3 of the biblical Israelites are going to be saved and the rest of the planet is going to die and face 1000 years slavery under them as stated in the Bible.

Where ever you find religious extremism you will normal find a corrupt leadership and a largely illiterate population that has religious messages fed to them by the corrupt powers.
To me this says far more about how corrupt humans are than how corrupt religions are!!

Only God will decide who will be with Him after the judgment, and who will be sent away to the place where God and holiness is not, a place refered to as the lake of fire. If you would like to know today where you stand as to where you will be, you need only read the Bible.
While we are not to pass judgment on others, this is referring to what I mentioned above. I cannot say you are doomed to hell. I don't know that, and if I say so, am I not taking away from God one of His divine rights ?
But I can speak to sin. If I am confronted with sin I am obligated to renounce it as so. So while I love my neighbor, if he pushes his homosexuality in my face and demands I accept it as a legitimate lifestyle, I will tell him no, that to God it is sinful behavior.
Now, should I seek to go out and tell everyone what their sin is ? No. Unless a person has been under convincing conviction of God, he will never know his sin, and to say to that person it is sin will only upset him for my opinion.
So, to be on topic, the website should call sin sin but leave who is going to hell up to God the Creator.
So what is a Christian to do..? What Jesus said, give to those who are hungry, homeless, & naked, and visit the sick and those in prison. Take care of widows and orphans (families in need). And secondly, when confronted with sin renounce it as such and don't be like the world who do not know God.
But judgment belongs to God and Christ alone. If you need to know where you will be after the judgment, read the Bible.

Is what your neighbor doing a "sin", or more of a bad decision on his part? Everyone can make a bad decision in their life about anything. It doesn`t make them a bad person or evil, to be shunned and judged by the rest of humanity.
And beings we are a part of the Creator "God", that makes judgement ours also.
